Close the round on the second question.
Investors decide on the follow-up. Can the company answer it on the spot, with numbers that agree with the story?
Why rounds drag
Raising from New Zealand has its own friction:
The local pool is shallow
Many companies exhaust domestic investors quickly and need to look to Australia, Singapore or the United States.
The model breaks when pushed
The numbers hold until an investor challenges one assumption, and then nobody can trace what it moves.
The data room is built mid-process
Which tells an investor exactly how the company is run.
The founder is raising capital and running the company at once
Both suffer.
A fractional CFO with a raise behind them carries the process so the founder does not have to, covering the model, the investor pack, the data room and the conversations with investors.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Preparing for a funding round in the next three to six months
- A data room or financial model that will not survive diligence
- Gaps in investor reporting, cap table or board resolutions
- A founder carrying every financial question personally
- Numbers and investor narrative that do not yet line up
Not for
- A business with no revenue or traction to diligence yet
- A one-off pitch deck or investor slide design
- A team that wants a document produced, not a leader embedded
- A round already closed that needs only bookkeeping
Where we come in on a raise
We match an operator who has raised from the kind of investor you are meeting, and stay close until the round has closed.
Watched against the timetable
Progress is reviewed against the investor calendar at agreed points, and we flag early when the pack is not ready for the next meeting.
Investor experience on call
Your executive can test the model with others in our collective of 800+ who have raised from Australian, Singaporean or American funds.
The round does not hang on one person
The brief and the preparation stay on our file. If the executive leaves mid-round, we search again from it and run the handover.
Matched to the investors you need
Raising locally and raising offshore are different jobs, and we match to the one in front of you.
From gap to investor-ready
Calibrated to your round timeline.
Fundraise assessment
We assess your current financial infrastructure, identify gaps, and calibrate to your round timeline.
CFO deployment
Your matched Fractional CFO is embedded within two to three weeks and begins building investor-grade infrastructure.
Fundraise preparation
Financial model, data room, board pack, governance, built and stress-tested before you enter conversations.
Round support and post-close
Your CFO stays through the round and transitions to execution mode. Reporting infrastructure, milestone tracking, and board presence.
Before, during and after the round
What a fractional CFO owns at each stage of a raise.
A fractional CFO leads every fundraise
Most raises need only the CFO. When diligence probes operations or technology, a COO or CTO joins from the same collective.
